The `--in` +option can now be told to match files that were in a repository at some +point in the past. For example, `git annex get --in=here@{yesterday}` will +get any files that have been dropped over the past day. + +While git-annex's location tracking info is stored in git and so versioned, +very little of it makes use of past versions of the location tracking info +(only `git annex log`). I'm happy to have finally found a use for it! + +OB Windows porting: Fixed a bug in the symlink calculation code. +Sounds simple; took 2 hours! + +Also various bug triage; updated git version on OSX; forwarded bug about +DAV-0.6 being broken upstream; fixed a bug with initremote in +encryption=pubkey mode. Backlog is 65 messages. + +--- + +Today's work was sponsored by Brock Spratlen.
